Vertical divided scope rings

I think I trash all my vertical divided scope rings. Read Warne.

Built like a tank, but if you take them off and on regularly, there seems to be forces working on the scope, and it will turn within the rings.

Now I have me got some Leupold rings.

Base and clamp TOTALLY separated from the ring tightening, but the rings seem to have a weakness. On the side, where the movable part of the Weaver base is, there´s VERY few material in the ring!

Look for yourself!

There´s not much more than 1 mm of Steel!

I am talking 30 mm low rings.

What are your experiences?

TIA, Hermann

My experience? It includes Leupold QR or QRW rings and bases on 375 & 375RUM, 416 (2), 458Lott and 458B&M. Both 1" and (mostly) 30mm rings of low and medium heights. I have never had an issue with the rings and have been shooting these rifles at the range and in Africa for almost 20 years now. I mount all my scopes myself.
